Which term refers to the closing line or final remarks in a letter?

• A. Closing Statement
• B. Salutation
• C. Enclosure
• D. Review

Answer: (A)

The closing statement is the part that wraps up a letter with final remarks and a courteous sign-off. It appears just before the signature and sets the tone for how you want to leave the reader, often with phrases like “Sincerely” or “Best regards.” This is what makes the end of the message clear and polite, signaling that the communication is finished.

The opening greeting, called the salutation, starts the letter, not ends it. An enclosure note tells the reader that additional documents are included with the letter, rather than providing closing thoughts. A review isn’t a standard element of letter structure.
